I think it's more the style scalius Send a noteboard - 04/11/2009 04:07:01 PM
I wasn't able to play it very much before work, but I was surprised how... low-quality the graphics seemed. The faces were okay, similar to Oblivion, but the running animation was more like gliding over the ground, and the general quality of the graphics - especially in the introductory cutscene - seemed really low-quality for an XBox 360 game. I was expecting something on the level of Mass Effect, but it looked more like the first KOTOR game.


At first, I felt as you did. Seemed sub-par to me. But after getting on the surface, things have begun to change. I'm starting to "get" the style they chose, and at times the graphics are fantastic. There is incredible detail throughout, but it's not evident at first glance. And during battles, as noted by Nate, there are many small details going on that normally get overlooked due to the action. Once you can accept the style they went for (which is clearly a departure from ME or Oblivion) things magically begin to look much better.
I would slave, to pave the way, to sink your ship of fools.
